Thanks, Chair. It's nice to be back with all of you.
Thanks, Charlie, for your motion. I wonder if we could have a discussion, either now or later, on where you see this fitting in, because I think we have an agreement to do the electricity interties study after the seven meetings on this IRA study.
In general, we support the concept of Canadian energy company executives coming to committee to inform members of this committee, who sometimes seem woefully uninformed, about the scope and scale of innovation investments in technology; of the ways that energy companies—particularly Suncor—have been driving the development of renewable and alternative energies, as well as the fuels of the future, for decades; and, certainly in Alberta's case, of a province with the oldest and largest commercialized solar and wind farms to the point that now they're going through decommissioning as a result of major private sector investments from companies like Suncor and other energy companies in the country.
It's totally reasonable to have energy executives come here to tell this committee, as well as all Canadians, about the major impacts they make with private sector dollars, which is actually the Conservative priority of technology over taxes to achieve emissions reductions globally.
We support the concept of energy executives coming here, but I just wonder how this would fit in schedule-wise.
